Maskless man physically assaults and berates gym staffer after being told to wear a mask

A video getting attention on Reddit shows a man berating, and sometimes physically assaulting a gym staff member who reportedly approached him because he wasn’t wearing his mask.

“This guy wouldn’t wear his mask and the gym staff had to address it,” the uploader of the video wrote, adding that the video was found on a friend’s Facebook page. “This lasted for nearly two hours – the owners came, the deluded d*****bag called the cops HIMSELF, and he was finally escorted out in handcuffs. The big reveal is, surprise! He’s a Trumper! And a lawyer! And we got him on candid camera getting physical first.”

Another Redditor said that they came across a comment from the staff member who said the incident took place in the Chicago area.

The video shows the man angrily jabbing the staffer in the chest with his finger, at times striking him in the chest area.

“Walk away!” the man says to the staffer before shoving him back. The staffer responds by standing his ground while keeping his hands in the air.

“I don’t want you near me,” the man says as people gather around with their phones out.
